An electric window shade apparatus for a vehicle is proposed, the electric window shade apparatus being configured to receive power directly from a motor. An electric window shade apparatus for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a shade module configured to be unwound or wound automatically by a driving force so as to move with respect to a window glass; and a driving module providing the driving force to the shade module by an operation of a cable wound on at least one drum driven by a motor.

A blinding arrangement for shielding a vehicle front windshield. The blinding arrangement includes at least one blinding system which includes a cassette, a spannable blinding body which can be moved out of and into the cassette, a horizontal upper guide rail for guiding the spannable blinding body in a horizontal direction, and a cassette locking arrangement. The horizontal upper guide rail is fixedly mounted above the vehicle front windscreen. The cassette pivots within a cassette pivot plane between a horizontal non-use position in which the cassette is arranged parallel to the horizontal upper guide rail and a lowered use position in which the cassette is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal upper guide rail. The cassette locking arrangement locks the cassette in the horizontal non-use position.

An arrangement for a darkening device for a vehicle roof having a tension bow and a coupling, said coupling including at least one coupling recess and being coupled to the tension bow at an elongate end thereof. The arrangement has a drive cable and a cable attachment which includes at least one coupling recess and which is coupled thereto at an elongate end of the drive cable. Moreover, the arrangement may have at least one coupling pin which extends in each case into the coupling recess of the coupling and into the coupling recess of the cable attachment and connects the coupling to the cable attachment and couples the tension bow to the drive cable, so that the tension bow can be moved in a predefined manner by the drive cable.

A roller blind web for a roller blind arrangement of a vehicle. The roller blind web can be wound up or unwound along a pull-out direction and may have a roller blind material, and a functional element which is connected to the roller blind material. The functional element can produced by means of additive manufacturing and is constructed from a multiplicity of layers. A method is also provided.

A retractable overhead assembly for a vehicle having a retractable cover under tension and an integrated stiffening rod that includes attachment features to selectively connect to a windshield area. The retractable system is self contained within an extrusion keeping the overall package size small and the installation/removal simple. The retractable cover creates a sun shade over the vehicle front cockpit and/or rear passenger area when deployed, and is retractable to a stowed position. The retractable overhead assembly is installable under any hard or soft top assembly configuration, and does not impede use or operation of the hard top or soft top assembly.

A door curtain assembly having a sub-curtain unit is provided and includes a main fabric that is wound in a trim of a vehicle door; and a main shade bar that is installed in an upper end of the main fabric and fixed to a hook provided in the door when the main fabric is deployed. A sub-curtain part is additionally deployed after the main curtain part is deployed. The sub-curtain part includes a sub-housing having a first side hinge-coupled to the door and a second side interlocked with ascending or descending of the main shade bar. Additionally, a sub-fabric is wound in the sub-housing and a sub-shade bar is installed in an end portion of the sub-fabric in a length direction of the sub-housing.
